There have been increasing efforts in recent years to minimize the amount of cement used in concrete. Efforts at partial replacement have been successful and regulations have been promulgated to standardize and use such formulations.... more
Abstract. Construction of tall chimneys is now the basic requirement and has been possible with the advent of latest building technologies and also with better understanding of loads acting on them to determine its structural behaviour.... more

Abstract. Flat slabs structures are the structures with the slabs directly resting on the columns. Due to the absence of the beams the stiffness of the frames reduces resulting in poor performance under the action of lateral loads. The... more
Since last few years Concrete Technologists are putting in continuous efforts to minimize the consumption of cement in concrete. Cement offering architectural freedom and being second highest consumed material on earth is also the major... more

The paper focuses on the gaps in green building rating systems such as LEED with respect to smart building aspects. Most Green building rating system do not recognize the integration of various smart building technologies which are... more
This paper explains the benefits of Urban Data Science Education in improving data driving policy-making and highlights the impact of vital use of available open data using a practical demonstration from the Summer-Winter School (SWS)... more
Digital elevation models (DEM) are important inputs for topography in modelling floods for remote and inaccessible regions. DEM often lack in accuracy near water bodies and rivers. The objective of this research is to present a DEM... more
Any shelter or structure is basically a product of a design process which depends on many factors. The design process is a collaboration of various professions. Each professional should contribute his part to the design process where the... more
There are two key concerns in developing the proposals. The first is to generate workable solutions that are compatible with the existing physical constraints of the area and the operational constraints of buses and taxis. The second is... more
This paper analyses trends in evolution of the urban spatial structure (or urban form) of the city of Ahmedabad, with two key objectives in mind: to generate a quantitative understanding of the evolution of the spatial structure and use... more
